Here's the situation. I finished my bachelors in physics last year, and I want to ‘convert’ from a physicist to an electrical engineer. Now that I’ve got grad school offers (MS) in electrical engineering, how do I actually go about converting myself to an electrical engineer?
I’m planning to concentrate on the more ‘physics-oriented’ areas (e.g. solid state, quantum, nanotechnology, etc.), which I pretty much have the prerequisites for, so I actually don’t have to take any undergrad remedial courses...But I would still like to take remedial undergrad classes in the more 'traditional' electrical engineering areas, so that I can actually call myself an electrical engineer…
The question is, which undergrad classes should I take? What kinds of topics are ‘compulsory’ for an electrical engineer?
